What do we mean by constraint?

The threat or use of force to prevent, restrict, or dictate the action or thought of others. noun

The state of being restricted or confined within prescribed bounds. noun

One that restricts, limits, or regulates; a check. noun

Embarrassed reserve or reticence; awkwardness. noun

Irresistible force, or its effect; any force or power, physical or moral, which compels to act or to forbear action; compulsion; coercion; restraint. noun

Specifically Repression of emotion, or of the expression of one's thoughts and feelings; hence, embarrassment: as, he spoke with constraint. noun

In analytical mechanics, the product of the mass of a particle into the square of that velocity which, compounded with the velocity the particle would have if free, would give the actual velocity. noun

Synonyms Violence, necessity, coercion. See force, n. noun

The act of constraining, or the state of being constrained; that which compels to, or restrains from, action; compulsion; restraint; necessity. noun

Something that constrains. noun

A condition that a solution to an optimization problem must satisfy. noun

The state of being physically constrained noun

A device that retards something's motion noun

The act of constraining; the threat or use of force to control the thoughts or behavior of others noun

Something that constrains; a restriction.

An irresistible force or compulsion.

The repression of one's feelings.

A condition that a solution to an optimization problem must satisfy.

A linkage or other restriction that maintains database integrity.

Those things within the society which limits your freedom from doing what you want. Urban Dictionary

In classical mechanics, particularly Lagrangian Mechanics, a holonomic constraint is a special type of constraint of motion. It restricts the trajectory of a system of particles to a smooth manifold Q by the set smooth equations a({x},t)=0 b({x},t)=0 . . . Where t=time {x}= the set of 3N Cartesian coordinates for the system of N particles. For N particles, the number of holonomic constraints must be less than 3N using the assumption that each equation has an explicit dependence to AT LEAST one coordinate. Urban Dictionary
